Mulayam Singh Yadav's remarks came after the opposition parties staged a walk out of the Lok Sabha demanding immediate discussion on the issue of farmers' plight.

Describing China as a “bigger threat to India than Pakistan”, Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday sought the government’s response on the military stand-off at Doklam.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha, the former Defence Minister also accused China of conspiring against India and urged the government to openly support the independence of Tibet and ban Chinese products in the country.

“China is a bigger threat to India than Pakistan. Pakistan cannot do anything to India. I have been saying this since the last 20 years. Now, it’s clear that China is conspiring against us. In Kashmir, China is supporting Pakistan even with arms and ammunition. This should be strongly protested,” Mulayam Yadav said during Zero Hour.
